I just painted my entire 4.8L black with 500 degree paint, was it a bad idea
to paint the heads? Might the paint insulate too much? Thanks

Bad? Probably not. Will it last? Probably not.

No it looked really good, motor was virtually new. Guess I was just being a dumbass, wanting everything black under the hood. Thanks everyone.
you dont need 1200 degree, i have 500* primer, then regular paint (green) and then 500* clear. just take the heads off and strip them

i'm sure it did look pretty good...the 500* paint is glossier than the 1200* paint...but unfortunately they are correct give it awhile & it'll chip...i'm assuming you pressure washed & degreased the block & heads though...

I cleaned it with B12 real good then over with alcohol, let all of it flash off for a while then painted on a low humidity day. I think I'll just leave it on, I want to get new heads in a few months anyway, hopefully going to start the swap in about a month. I'll try to get pictures this weekend, it does look real good!
i mean that's good with the alcohol and everything but no degreaser? b12 is a carb cleaner...don't know how well that's gonna do for the grime on a block...either way get ready for the chipping
